Hi all,
I'm wondering what an entry level job for an ML career would look like. Embarrassingly, I actually have a Master's in ML, but I know I'm not qualified to tackle the ML jobs listed on Monster.com. I was lucky to survive with a diploma - I can program decently well, but I don't have the intuition behind the math (also, I believe it's hard to fail out of Master's programs in general because they are cash cows for Universities, and hence there is a general reluctance to punish people that are reasonably smart and paying a lot of money). And so I just don't have the confidence to tackle the Amazon/IBM type jobs that I often see. I've done some courses on Coursera (ML with Andrew Ng, which was awesome, and PGM, which is a total beast), and some self-study on statistics, but I would really like an entry level job in ML. However, the search terms "entry level" and "machine learning" don't really turn up sensible results when I use them. Is there another, easier job title that eventually leads to ML? Or, what else can I be doing to kick start a career in ML?
I apologize if this is a noob/frequently posted query.
Edit: Thanks all! I think I'll hang out here more often for inspiration and industry news.
